# How Long Does Heat Transfer Vinyl Last?

## HTV lasts much longer than you think providing you buy the right one!

However, we’re happy to confirm that many of the heat transfer vinyl's that we supply will outlast the garment, and have been tested to show that they’ll last for a minimum of 50 washes.

This means that the garment should be ready for the bin before the design starts to degrade.

As an additional tip, we always recommend washing garments with HTV printed onto them inside out, in order protect them from damage from hard surfaces (e.g. buttons and zips) whilst being washed.
